FAHIM UPDATE!
My Afghan brother Fahim Fazli will be speaking at the Veterans in Film & Television meeting on August 29 in L.A. He'll be talking to former military people who now work in the entertainment industry in various areas as actors, directors, writers, technical advisors, etc. He'll briefly speak about his connection with the U.S. Marines and his own acting career - and our book ... "FAHIM SPEAKS: A Warrior-Actor's Odyssey from Afghanistan to Hollywood and Back."
I'll be doing a CAOCL lecture on the Marine Base in Quantico on Friday, Sept. 7. The focus will be on Afghanistan ... a bit about its culture, history, and contemporary significance as well as the life experiences of an Afghan-American, Fahim Fazli, the subject of our book "FAHIM SPEAKS: A Warrior-Actor's Odyssey from Afghanistan to Hollywood and Back." Subsequently there will be some emphasis on Fahim's role as a Hollywood actor turned linguist who enjoyed spectacular success as an interpreter with 3rd Bn 4th Marines in Helmand Province from 2009-2010. As a field historian with Marine Corps University, I had the chance to record some of the USMC history in Afghanistan, and will share a few perepctives on that as well.
Also, here's a You-Tube link to part of the Book Launching Event earlier this year in Laguna Niguel:
